As
already stated, all the nerves are linked with the brain cells and electric
current. All the nerves are affected by them. How many kinds of electric
currents there are, what quantities they consist in, man cannot through any
means count them; they exist in countless numbers. This electric current after
coming out of the brain cells creates the senses of sight, taste, smell,
hearing, speech and touch. Electric current travels from the root of the brain,
passes through the spinal cord and enters the last joint of the back where it
divides itself between all the nerves. This division of the electric current into
nerves is what forms the senses.
When one
bows down in Prayer, the formula that forms the senses is inverted. In other
words, the senses now become directly under control of the internal side of the
brain. After achieving focus the brain starts reflecting its waves upon a
single point. When one stands up after bowing, the lights within the brain are
once again divided amongst all the nerves, which causes one to entirely become
Noor (divine light).
اَللّٰہُ نُوْرُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ مَثَلُ
نُوْرِہٖ کِشْکوٰۃٍ فِیْھَا مِصْبَاحُ فِیْ زُجَاجَۃٍ اَلزُّجَۃُ کَنَھَّا
کَوْکَبٌ دُرِّییٌّ یُّوْقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَۃٍ مُّبٰرَکَۃٍ زَیْتُوْنَۃٍ لَّا
شَرْفِیَّۃٍ وَّ لَاْغَرْبِیَّۃٍ یَّکَادُزَیْتُھَا یُضِیْٓ عُ وَلَوْ لَمْ
تَمْسَسْہُ نَارٌ نُوْرٌ عَلیٰ نُوْرِ یَھْدِی اللّٰہُ لِنُوْرِہٖ مَنْ یَّشَاءُ
وَ یَضْرِبُ اللّٰہُ الْاَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسَ وَاللّٰہُ بِکّلِّ شَیْ ءٍ عَلِیْمٌo
‘Allah
is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. The similitude of His Light is as a
niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a
shining star. (The lamp is) Kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of
the East or the West, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself) though no
fire touched it. Light upon Light, Allah guideth unto His Light whom He will.
And Allah speaketh to mankind in allegories, for Allah is knower of all things’ (Surah Nūr, 35)
When
bowing, one should keep the head and backbone parallel to each other. The eyes
should stay focused on the nails of the big toes. The hands should be placed on
the knees in a way that there is a stretch felt in the legs. One should recite
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّی الْاَعَلی
either
three, five or seven times during this time and then stand up very straight -
straight as a soldier.
When one
bows down and holds the knees with the hands, the electricity functioning
within the palms and the fingers is absorbed by the knees. This keeps the
healthy fluid in the knees lubricated. This keeps one protected from pain in
the knees and the joints.
KHWAJA SHAMSUDDIN AZEEMI
Mehrāj means to enter the world of the unseen. When a believer attains Mehrāj through prayer, Angels appear in front of him. He travels through the Heavens, and through the blessings of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) he comes to know his Lord.
